The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 119

The Japanese pirates' attack lasted for five days, and they failed to cross the bridge after five days of fighting.

On the sixth day, the Japanese pirates disappeared early in the morning. I don't know if they really retreated after being unable to attack for a long time, or it was a trick to lure the enemy.

On the morning of the sixth day, Pei Zhiqi was called by Mr. Xie to the academy's lecture hall. When he got to the lecture hall, he found out that the person sitting behind the desk was not Mr. Xie, but Lao Shanzhang.

Lao Shanzhang didn't seem to be half asleep as usual, but today his eyes were bright and he sat up straight.

The six teachers were all standing in the hall, besides the teachers, there were a dozen or so students.

About a quarter of an hour after Pei Zhiqi arrived in the lecture hall, Lao Shanchang coughed twice, and said slowly, "Just these people, close the door."

After the door of the lecture hall was closed, the old head of the mountain said again: "All the teachers of the academy, as well as the students who the teachers think are hopeful for success, I called you here today because I want to discuss something with you."

The old mountain chief paused at this point, teachers and students in the hall, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what the mountain chief means today?

Pei Zhiqi couldn't help but glance at Xie Youqi, and Xie Youqi told him that as a teacher, he didn't know what he was here for today.

Seeing everyone's doubts, the old mountain chief stroked his blue beard and smiled, "I called you here today to ask about something. Now the Japanese pirates seem to have retreated from Jingde Mountain. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Everyone can do it." Tell me what you think."

As soon as Lao Shanchang finished speaking, the audience began to discuss in a low voice.

Seeing that everyone was discussing, the old mountain leader slowly added: "I have something to say, but it's okay to say, there is no right or wrong answer on this matter. You are all scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics, especially you guys Students who seek fame and fame will become the pillars of the country once they take the Zhongxiang Examination in the future, and even take on the responsibility of managing the people and land of one side. Today, Japanese pirates have invaded our provincial capital. Let alone those of us who are scholars? Today’s question should be considered as a question. Teachers don’t have to answer it, just listen to it. Students can only go back after answering this question today. The knowledge in books is not considered knowledge. Those who can take things out of books and use them are called true knowledge. Take a look, who will start first?"

After the old head of the mountain finished speaking this long speech, the hall was completely silent and quiet.

Just now I thought it was a discussion about this question. As soon as Lao Shanzhang asked this question, everyone thought hard, hoping to answer to the satisfaction of Lao Shanzhang and the teachers.

If you can answer well today, it’s easy to say, if you answer too badly, you will not only embarrass yourself, but also embarrass the teacher. After all, the people standing in this room, according to the old mountain chief, are the favorite students selected by the teachers .

Judging from the title, wouldn't it be a great thing for the Japanese pirates to retreat?But if the head of the mountain asks this question, he must have a deep meaning, and he must think it over carefully.

After a while, the bold students stood up to speak first; after someone started, one by one, several students spoke one after another.

The head of the mountain asked the six teachers to sit down with gestures, and slowly listened to the students' speeches.Xie Youqi also sat down relaxed, not looking nervous at all.

Pei Zhiqi thought about the topic for a while, and suddenly felt the kindness of the head of the mountain.

He didn't speak in a hurry, but listened quietly to the other students' expositions. Although some people said it in a simple way and didn't hit the point, others said it penetratingly, which was worth listening to.

Pei Zhiqi originally planned to be the last one to speak, but after the fifth student finished answering, the head of the mountain was slightly tilted, and he looked at Pei Zhiqi who was standing behind.

"Let's talk about it next time," Shan Zhang looked at Pei Zhiqi and said.

At this time, Xie Youqi closed his eyes to rest his mind and suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was no longer sleepy.

Pei Zhiqi was a little surprised to be named suddenly, but not panicked.He hurriedly followed the voice of the head of the mountain, and answered respectfully and respectfully: "Yes."

After paying the salute, Pei Zhiqi straightened up and took a few steps forward, then clasped his hands and replied in a deep voice: "Students think that the retreat of the Japanese pirates from Jingde Mountain is neither a good thing nor a bad thing; or in other words, it is a good thing , is also a bad thing."

As soon as this remark came out, the teachers sitting in the classroom all paid attention and looked at Pei Zhiqi one after another, while the other students whispered about the answer.

The head of the mountain ignored the slight commotion in the auditorium, and only half-closed his eyes and said softly: "Speak."

Pei Zhiqi bowed to the head of the mountain and replied: "Students' humble opinion. If it is true that the Japanese pirates retreated from Jingde Mountain, it would be a good thing for the people on Jingde Mountain, the academy and Boss Wan, but this team Leaving Jingde Mountain will definitely go to other places to burn, kill and loot—according to what the Japanese pirate leader said, after the Japanese pirates landed this time, they will be divided into two teams, one will attack Jingde Mountain, and the other will enter the provincial capital and continue northward. The Japanese pirates on the Jingde Mountain have left, and the next step is to join the Japanese pirates heading for the provincial capital to snatch new places together, such as attacking Anzhou City together. For the common people, it is a bad thing.”

Pei Zhiqi paused, and continued: "If the Japanese pirates' retreat is fake, it is actually to lure us to go deep in order to encircle and suppress. It is a bad thing for us on Jingde Mountain, but in this way, we share half of the Japanese pirates' troops, and it is not good for Anzhou. It’s a good thing for the people in the city.”

"Hmm..." After hearing Pei Zhiqi's answer, the head of the mountain asked again: "Then how should we deal with it now?"

Pei Zhiqi replied: "If it's true that the Japanese pirates retreated, the matter would be simple. We have plenty of food and grass in the mountains, and the stone bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as we don't fall for the Japanese pirates' tricks and can't hold on, the Japanese pirates will leave on their own after a long time. After all, you can be Japanese pirates. How many people can wait for a long time at the foot of an impenetrable mountain? What the soldiers and soldiers want most is to go to the city as soon as possible to grab more property; if it is true that the Japanese pirates retreat, things will be troublesome , we have to find a way to defend Anzhou City, otherwise the people in the city will suffer.”

"Then how do you think we can defend Anzhou City?" After Pei Zhiqi had just finished answering the previous sentence, the head of the mountain immediately asked him the next sentence.

Pei Zhiqi pondered and said: "Although Boss Wan has six hundred family members and hundreds of adult laborers on the mountain, none of them are regular troops, have no experience in marching and fighting, and don't even have basic military discipline, let alone set up camps and fortify food Although this mountain with plenty of food and grass and is easy to defend and difficult to attack can resist enemy attacks, once it marches down the mountain, it will be difficult to compete with the well-disciplined and experienced Japanese pirate army. At that time, I am afraid that it will only increase casualties but will not help Anzhou City. There are about 2000 generals and soldiers defending the city of Anzhou. They have had two experiences against Japanese pirates, and both have won. As long as there are no other obstacles, Anzhou City will be safe in normal battles. The newly appointed state shepherd in Cheng obeyed the order of the provincial capital and did not resist, so..."

Pei Zhiqi couldn't finish the rest of the sentence, and when he thought that his wife might be taking refuge in a corner of Anzhou City at this time, he felt pain in his heart.

"Then how can we ensure that the newly appointed governor of Anzhou City can defend the city obediently?" the head of the mountain continued to ask.
